Attachment A <br />ЌЋЋ <br />Councilmember Laliberte recognized the interest in going down both pathways; but expressed her <br />ЌЋЌ <br />preference for the touchback and renewal versus a blanker period of time; opining that a different City <br />ЌЋЍ <br />Council could take a more aggressive stand than this one, making her nervous. <br />ЌЋЎ <br />Councilmember McGehee opined that she didn't find this specific to Vogel Sheetmetal; and with many <br />ЌЋЏ <br />things coming before the City Council that were reasonable, this provided lenders the ability to approve <br />ЌЋА <br />loans and make business opportunities possible. Councilmember McGehee opined that the City should <br />ЌЋБ <br />have the flexibility but be able to decide on an individual basis without getting into legal situations. <br />ЌЋВ <br />Lisa McCormick <br />ЌЌЉ <br />Ms. McCormick asked that, at some point, if the language included IU?s for twenty years, language also <br />ЌЌЊ <br />include incremental five year check-backs be built into that approval. <br />ЌЌЋ <br />Mr. Bilotta stated that staff would check into that to see if it was a possibility; however, he expressed his <br />ЌЌЌ <br />suspicion that it may be problematic for lenders. <br />ЌЌЍ <br />Todd Cummings, 1800 County Road C-2 <br />ЌЌЎ <br />Mr. Cummings opined that from his perspective the Vogel acquisition and the entire process seemed <br />ЌЌЏ <br />disorganized. Mr. Cummings opined that he would expect a company to come forward fully prepared <br />ЌЌА <br />versus the City having to hold their hand and make things work for them without them performing their own <br />ЌЌБ <br />due diligence beforehand. While being all for helping someone, Mr. Cummings opined that the firm should <br />ЌЌВ <br />already have had these things in place already through their legal counsel and lenders; opining that this <br />ЌЍЉ <br />approach seemed amateur to him and shouldn’t be happening at this stage or on this scale. While <br />ЌЍЊ <br />recognizing that the Vogel Sheetmetal firm may provide a great opportunity for everyone, Mr. Cummings <br />ЌЍЋ <br />expressed his frustration in the disorganized process. <br />ЌЍЌ <br />With no one else coming to speak on this issue, Mayor Roe closed public comment at approximately 7:36 <br />ЌЍЍ <br />p.m. <br />ЌЍЎ <br />
