Kathy Hale, 54 Orchard Hill Drive - former member of the SW Town Council. Since CT Studios is back on the agenda - over the last year this project has been delayed. the big numbers are the personal property taxes and the spin off businesses. TIF bonds are not the biggest part of this project.
4. Communications
Pelkey - asked by the Red Cross - will be having Blood Drive Wednesday from 1:45 to 6:30. Reserves are down and donations are down. 1-800-Give-Life and ask to schedule a time. takes about 45 minutes and encourage residents to do it.
Yagaloff - want to communicate, Town Council has done everything on schedule for this Ct Studios project. There has not been a single delay by the Town Council. Delay is an economic delay.
Bazzano - I agree with Councillor Yagaloff. We have put endless hours into this project. There were a couple of adjustments. It has not been us who have delayed this project, it has been the developer. Resource Officer is no longer at TE, it is at Matt - brought back inhouse to file reports. Overtime is an issue and trying to keep that under control. Bazzano - know we are short officers. Traffic on Friday night getting out of Longest Dinner Table was very tough. Matt - there was something at High Schhol that was going on too. Bazzano - follow up to resolve issues with traffic
McCann - I agree with Councillor Yagaloff and Bazzano. The only change the Town Council has done is for the benefit of the Town. Only have been acting in the best interest of the Town. Saturday, Historical Day on Old Main Street - begins at 9am to 4pm
Delnicki - I have never not asked the tough questions and have always thought of Town and the residents. That to me is duty and job of a Counicllor.
Matt - when we talk about development of projects. DST was 3 years, Evergreen Walk was 4 1/2 years. Those when the market was good. The market is not doing that right now and we are trying to make this work. The concept is a good project but hard to get lenders to lend the amoun tof money that is needed for this project. Has nothing to do with politics, it has to do with the economic climate. Don't want anyone to think anyone is delaying this project, not the council or the developer. This is a good project that could bring jobs to the Town.
7D, F and G Mayor, Bazzano, unanimous
7. Special Business
A. Resolution Authorizing the Town Manager to Rebid the Property located at 124 Sullivan Avenue (Old Firehouse property)
Galligan - I left it open but thought maybe if the Council wants to put a minimum bid they can. Pelkey - earlier you said the Town can deny any bid
Prague - is there any possible use of that property Matt - did talk about using the property for another purpose. I used to always put a minimum bid. Looking for direction of the Council.
Delnicki - two things need to add to resolution - specific language - it has to come before the Council for approval or rejection and secondly we owe it to people to put minimum bid. minimum of 270,000 would be reasonable beginning point. add specific langauge that if there is a bid the Council will have to vote it up or down. If the Regional Pound comes forward that will be available for that. Good use of property. Very troubled something going forward with no minimum. Delnicki - amendment NOW last paragraph - with a minimim bid requirement of 270,000 and come back to TC Pelkey second Yagaloff - this is a policy decision. do we want to wait or take a bid. I will vote for the 270,000. little worried about having cycle of bids. Think 270,000 might be high. We can do it but might not get bidders. Pelkey - we had one for 275,000
McCann - building if 45 yeas old but has been maintained. on two acres of land. This is a bargaining price. Is the TC bound and dtermined to sell property right now. contingencies - bidder may or may not get it for price, town can reject all bids. I think that it is not attractive way to market property. bottom line is this si not a good time to bid property. I think we should be focusing on what we could use this proeprty for rather than rush to sell. Against the resolution in general. Think we should postpone this resolution.
