Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting April 19, 2012 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida <br />loan because they are agreeing to move the band shell. City Attorney Ottinot said to look at <br />the term interest, he looked at it more as getting advanced, which he did not have any <br />leverage or authority to have them pay the full $400,000, they wanted something in terms of <br />relief of payment, he saw the $400,000 as interest up front to build the band shell. <br />Commissioner Scholl said his point is we are setting a precedent by giving an interest -free <br />loan, and he doesn't like that there is linkage on something that he is not aware of until the <br />item comes before him. Commissioner Aelion said he would not define it as an interest -free <br />loan in light of the fact that the City is getting almost half a million dollars up front which <br />otherwise would have been not there, and you can call that as part of the interest. <br />Vice Mayor Thaler said that there was some linkage, it was not clear and he does not <br />disagree with what Commissioner Scholl. Vice Mayor Thaler said that there was a linkage <br />between this item and the band shell. He thinks it should be noted that there was some <br />upfront money for in -kind that was given to the City so that in the future our Attorney can go <br />back and relate to that. <br />Mayor Edelcup said that this City and this Commission has generally been a working partner <br />in the redevelopment of our City and we appreciate all the efforts that our developers have <br />done and the improvements that they have offered. Whether or not this is entitled to interest <br />to him is immaterial given the overall effect to the City with the project. He disagrees with <br />Commissioner Scholl that they were not informed, at least he knows he was personally <br />informed via phone call from the City Attorney, and he thinks that City Attorney Ottinot can <br />verify that he made a call to each of the Commission well before last Tuesday, informing <br />each Commissioner of the linkage. <br />Vice Mayor Thaler moved and Commissioner Aelion seconded a motion to approve the <br />resolution. Resolution No. 2012 -1898 was adopted by a voice vote of 4-1 (Commissioner <br />Scholl opposed) in favor. <br />[City Clerk's Note: Item IOG was heard after this item.] <br />IOM.
