3. WATER PARK - LEASE AMENDMENT
Recommendation: That the Council approve Afi}endment No.
3 to lease agreement with Oasis Waterpark, Inc. ; and consent
to encumbrance of leasehold to secure continuing guaranty
of $6.5 million loan from Bank of America.
- In answer to question by Councilman Birer, City Attorney
stated that he believed Mr. Birer to still have a conflict
of interest because of a recent client relationship; and
that the Council may suspend its rule regarding abstention
being considered as absent for purpose of voting, in order
to retain a quorum of the Council .
City Attorney reviewed his report, in detail , noting that (109)
the self-insured program and administration would be reviewed
within one year, and if not satisfactory, the insurance
policy would be required. He stated that the existing $2. 5
million consent to encumbrance would become a part of the
total $6. 5 million encumbrance, which does not exceed 80%
of the improved leasehold value (estimated at $10 million),
but places some restrictive measures on the City' s position,
e.g. , the lease cannot be amended without permission of
the Bank, but that he did not recommend against the encum-
brance and amendment because of those limitations.
Following discussion, it was moved by Foster, seconded by
Smith, and unanimously carried, Apfelbaum and Bogert absent,
that the Council ' s Rules concerning abstention in terms
of absence be suspended for this meeting.
Resolutions 15948 and 15949, approving amendment, and consent-
ing to encumbrance and amendment, as rcommended, were
presented; after which, it was moved by Foster, seconded
by Smith, and unanimously carried, Apfelbaur and Bogert
absent, that Resolutions 15948 and 15949 be adopted.
