Nick Petrish, Erica Pickett, Brad Adams, Bill Turner, Cynthia Richardson and Brian Geer were present. Kevin McKeown was absent. Lease Agreements—Cap Sante Marine and Bill Woodinq Planning Director Ryan Larsen discussed two lease agreements affecting the 30th Street and V Avenue area. Regarding Cap Sante Marine's lease, Mr. Larsen said the applicant would like the City to re- evaluate the leased property. Mr. Larsen said the lease currently calls for such a re-evaluation in 2014. Regarding Vito Ruzich's lease, Mr. Larsen said Mr. Ruzich had asked to transfer his lease to Bill Wooding. The City would then negotiate a lease agreement with Mr. Wooding. Mr. Adams asked the purpose of re-evaluating the Cap Sante lease property. Mr. Larsen recalled that two years ago the City made a struggling tenant agreement with that tenant. He said that now the tenant has had the property appraised and thinks changes in property values would affect the lease price. Mr. Larsen stated that if the property is re-evaluated to have a different fair market value the lease terms would have to be re- negotiated. Mr. Adams clarified that the tenant is hoping to reduce the lease amount. Mr. Larsen concurred and added that the tenant is now earning less revenue from the leased travel lift than it had anticipated. Mayor Maxwell said that the City is not obligated to open up the lease discussions prior to 2014 but that doing so would be prudent and that the applicant would pay the costs of the property evaluation. Mrs. Richardson and Mr. Turner clarified that once a new value of the property is established the terms of the current lease require the City to adjust the rental rate. Mr. Larsen agreed and said the City Attorney would be asked to draft an amendment to the lease agreement which City Council would then vote to accept or reject. Mrs. Richardson asked if the city can request the same kind of mid-term re- evaluation if property values increase. She said she didn't feel the requested re-evaluation was inappropriate but would like to see something that could go both ways. Mr. Turner said he was not opposed to re-evaluating even knowing that it may reduce the amount of the lease. Ward 3 City Council Position Candidate Presentations Mayor Maxwell announced that there were nine applicants to serve out the remainder of the term for the Ward 3 City Council position vacated by the resignation of Councilmember Kevin McKeown. He said each candidate would be given five minutes to address the audience. The candidates drew numbers to determine their order of presentation. The mayor advised that the nine candidates all live in Ward 3, are registered voters, and meet all the other candidacy requirements. Each candidate had submitted paperwork to Council describing their interest in serving on the Council, their community involvement, and their skill set. He said City Council would not be questioning candidates at this meeting and that after the candidate presentations the mayor and councilmembers would go into executive session to consider the qualifications of the candidates but would not take any action at this meeting. He added that councilmembers might wish to call some candidates back to ask them questions before the audience at a future meeting. Mayor Maxwell praised the interest and involvement of so many members of the community reflected by this large pool of applicants. The following candidates then addressed the Council and audience for approximately five minutes each: Sharon Baggs (via video as she was not able to attend in person) Eric Johnson Jack Arrington Roger Born John Hudgins John Archibald Dennis Trible Barbara Ballentine Chris Johnson Mayor Maxwell again thanked all the candidates for applying and being willing to serve the community.

Regarding Vito Ruzich's lease, Mr. Larsen said Mr. Ruzich had asked to transfer his lease to Bill Wooding. The City would then negotiate a lease agreement with Mr. Wooding. Mr. Adams asked the purpose of re-evaluating the Cap Sante lease property. Mr. Larsen recalled that two years ago the City made a struggling tenant agreement with that tenant. He said that now the tenant has had the property appraised and thinks changes in property values would affect the lease price. Mr. Larsen stated that if the property is re-evaluated to have a different fair market value the lease terms would have to be re- negotiated. Mr. Adams clarified that the tenant is hoping to reduce the lease amount. Mr. Larsen concurred and added that the tenant is now earning less revenue from the leased travel lift than it had anticipated. Mayor Maxwell said that the City is not obligated to open up the lease discussions prior to 2014 but that doing so would be prudent and that the applicant would pay the costs of the property evaluation. Mrs. Richardson and Mr. Turner clarified that once a new value of the property is established the terms of the current lease require the City to adjust the rental rate. Mr. Larsen agreed and said the City Attorney would be asked to draft an amendment to the lease agreement which City Council would then vote to accept or reject. Mrs. Richardson asked if the city can request the same kind of mid-term re- evaluation if property values increase. She said she didn't feel the requested re-evaluation was inappropriate but would like to see something that could go both ways. Mr. Turner said he was not opposed to re-evaluating even knowing that it may reduce the amount of the lease. Ward 3 City Council Position Candidate Presentations Mayor Maxwell announced that there were nine applicants to serve out the remainder of the term for the Ward 3 City Council position vacated by the resignation of Councilmember Kevin McKeown. He said each candidate would be given five minutes to address the audience. The candidates drew numbers to determine their order of presentation. The mayor advised that the nine candidates all live in Ward 3, are registered voters, and meet all the other candidacy requirements. Each candidate had submitted paperwork to Council describing their interest in serving on the Council, their community involvement, and their skill set. He said City Council would not be questioning candidates at this meeting and that after the candidate presentations the mayor and councilmembers would go into executive session to consider the qualifications of the candidates but would not take any action at this meeting. He added that councilmembers might wish to call some candidates back to ask them questions before the audience at a future meeting. Mayor Maxwell praised the interest and involvement of so many members of the community reflected by this large pool of applicants. The following candidates then addressed the Council and audience for approximately five minutes each: Sharon Baggs (via video as she was not able to attend in person) Eric Johnson Jack Arrington Roger Born John Hudgins John Archibald Dennis Trible Barbara Ballentine Chris Johnson Mayor Maxwell again thanked all the candidates for applying and being willing to serve the community.

Mr. Adams clarified that the tenant is hoping to reduce the lease amount. Mr. Larsen concurred and added that the tenant is now earning less revenue from the leased travel lift than it had anticipated. Mayor Maxwell said that the City is not obligated to open up the lease discussions prior to 2014 but that doing so would be prudent and that the applicant would pay the costs of the property evaluation. Mrs. Richardson and Mr. Turner clarified that once a new value of the property is established the terms of the current lease require the City to adjust the rental rate. Mr. Larsen agreed and said the City Attorney would be asked to draft an amendment to the lease agreement which City Council would then vote to accept or reject. Mrs. Richardson asked if the city can request the same kind of mid-term re- evaluation if property values increase. She said she didn't feel the requested re-evaluation was inappropriate but would like to see something that could go both ways. Mr. Turner said he was not opposed to re-evaluating even knowing that it may reduce the amount of the lease. Ward 3 City Council Position Candidate Presentations Mayor Maxwell announced that there were nine applicants to serve out the remainder of the term for the Ward 3 City Council position vacated by the resignation of Councilmember Kevin McKeown. He said each candidate would be given five minutes to address the audience. The candidates drew numbers to determine their order of presentation. The mayor advised that the nine candidates all live in Ward 3, are registered voters, and meet all the other candidacy requirements. Each candidate had submitted paperwork to Council describing their interest in serving on the Council, their community involvement, and their skill set. He said City Council would not be questioning candidates at this meeting and that after the candidate presentations the mayor and councilmembers would go into executive session to consider the qualifications of the candidates but would not take any action at this meeting. He added that councilmembers might wish to call some candidates back to ask them questions before the audience at a future meeting. Mayor Maxwell praised the interest and involvement of so many members of the community reflected by this large pool of applicants. The following candidates then addressed the Council and audience for approximately five minutes each: Sharon Baggs (via video as she was not able to attend in person) Eric Johnson Jack Arrington Roger Born John Hudgins John Archibald Dennis Trible Barbara Ballentine Chris Johnson Mayor Maxwell again thanked all the candidates for applying and being willing to serve the community.
