ACTION: Discussion

Mayor
Dermer
to
meet
with
Mr.
Peebles
to
give
a
good
faith
effort
to
see
if
an
agreement
canbe reached
and to
report
back
at
the next
Commission
meeting.
Jorge
Gonzalez,
City Manager,
stated that this
is a
report
on
the status of the
LOI
and
referenced
several letters
Mr.
Peebles has transmitted
to the
City.
One
of the letters
was
distributed
at
t o d a y
s
ommission
Meeting.
He stated
that the
way
he reads the
letter,
Mr.
Peebles is
asserting
that
his
claim
exceeds
the
amount
of rent
owed to
the
City,
herefore,
he
should
not have to
pay
the
City
rent
until
such time
as
the claims
balance
out.
He
is
proposing
to
begin
current
rent
payment
as
of
July
1,
2003.
This
clearly
deviates
from the
LO. The
Administration
is
here
to
receive
any
guidance
the Commission
would
like to
give.
Discussion
held.
Mayor
Dermer
asked
if
the
odginal
LOI
was
presented
to
Mr.
Peebles
again
would
he
accept
it.
Discussion
continued.
Commissioner
Cruz stated
that in a
recent conversation
with
Mr.
Peebles,
he asked
him
if he
would be
wlling
to
accept
the
LOI as
presented
at the last
Commission
Meeting.
He
stated
that
Mr.
Peebles
stated,
no
Main motion
made
by
Commissioner
Bower
to
approve
the
original
Letter
of Intent (
LOI)
presented
at
the4
0103
Commission
Meeting
without
any
of
the
changes
and
transmit
it
to
Mr.
Peebles;
seconded
by
Commissioner
Gross.
Discussion
continued.
Commissioner
Cruz
stated
that the
Mayor
should
meet with
Mr.
Peebles
Commissioner
Gross
agreed
that
the
Mayor
should take
the
original
LOI to
Mr.Peebles
tosee
if he is
willing
to
sign
it.
Commissioner
Steinberg
stated
that
he
will vote
against
this
because
of
the
tolling
agreement.
He
explained
the
potential
problems
with the
tolling
agreement.
Discussion
was
held.
Joel
Minsker,
Esq.,
nd
the
C i t ys
utside
counsel,
stated
that
the
tolling agreement
was
to toll
the
statute
of limitation
during
negotiations.
If
negotiations
are
started
and the
LOI
is
signed,
and then
negotiations
breakdown,
that means
the
tolling
agreement
gets
terminated
and
if
you
look
at
the
tolling
period,
May
8,
2002
to
the
day
the
final
negotiations
are
stopped,
he
City
has
stayed
the statute
of
limitations.
On
that
day
Mr.
Peebles
is back
to
May
8,
2002.
Murray
Dubbin,
City
Attorney,
stated
that
the
statute
of limitations
is
in
effect
right
now
There
are
two (
2
laims
he
is
aware
of that he
would
want to
assert:
1)
The environmental
claims,
and
2)
His claim
that he
was
kept
from
examning
the
building
before
he
bought
it.
