Train Depot - Proposed AQreement (Proposed Agreement)
The City Attorney reviewed and explained the proposed agreement.
Damien Gilliams, Sebastian, said this is not redevelopment and is a waste of taxpayers'
money.
Louise Kautenberg, Sebastian, said the property is an eyesore and this part of the train
station is all that remains, and that the City agreed to own it and once it is gone it will be
gone forever.
Carolyn Corum, agreed and hoped that Council finds someplace for the train depot.
Mayor McCollum said there are a lot of problems in the contract, and while he is in
agreement, the terms of the contract put a major demand on the City. He said he
objects to provision six and many other provisions.
Mr. Burkeen said he also objected to provision six and said the agreement should go
back for a rewrite.
Ms. Coy said the contract was not what she expected and agreed it should be sent back.
Mr. Paternoster agreed that there are too many issues that need rewriting, said he
visited the train station yesterday and it is in a state of total disrepair and if it was moved
it would probably fall apart. He said he could not support it the way it is written.
Mr. Neglia said he also visited the train station and found it to be in disrepair and it will
never be moved without falling apart. He said he did not want to see any money put into
the project.
On a MOTION by Mr. Burkeen, with a SECOND by Ms. Coy, Council rejected the
contract and would like staff to come up with something more feasible with less financial
impact on the City on a roll call vote of 5-0.
5. Being no further business, Mayor McCollum adjourned the meeting at 6:55 p.m.
