MINUTES City Council P9ay 27, 1987 Bingo Pew reported that the Judge may grant a new trial in the unlawful (Cont.) detainer action or it may be that any lease arrangement between the parties may be dismissed. The matter is still in litigation. Pew also reported that there are conditions in the lease which prevent LCCB from assigning thelease without the approval of Movers Warehouse. It may be that assignment of the lease to a trustee without the financial responsibility for the terms of the lease would not be in the landlord's best interest and would not be approved by the landlord. Pew reported that the difference between the first and second lease is the payment for certain improvements, the conducting of concessions and the term of the lease is longer. Pew reported that Servants of Mary and St. Joseph's Society feel that the terms of the direct lease are more favorable that the lease with LCCB as the charities are paying more to LCC6 than to Tom Short. Tom Short reported that he and St. Joseph's Society and Servants of Mary have a meeting of the minds with regard to the lease issue. However, there is no such situation between Short and LCCQ or some of the charities making up LCCB. Short also pointed out that the other charities have not approached him with regard to individual leases. Pew reported that after Junel none of the individual charities will be license~ and rent checks will probably not be forwarded to LCCB. 4lylie reported that the lease with Tom Short requires mutual consent to assign a lease, however, the lease has not been assigned. LCCB continues to operate as landlord. LCCB is the same corporation however, its functions have been limited to that of landlord. ldylie also pointed out that P1r. Short wants to litigate the unlawful detainer action here tonight after having lost once. Wylie stated that with regard to the appeal, the Judge may also decide that she was correct the first time and not change her mind. This is a strong possibility. tJylie stated that if the Movers lviarehouse lease is not better than the previous leases, it seems unusual that Mr. Short would spend quite a bit of time and money trying to defeat the first lease, and Wylie points out that Short is continuing to try to get the first lease defeated. 6Jylie stated that with regard to Mr. Benson's comments regarding the actions of the Gambling Control Board, no individual charity has been asked to submit bank accounts, rather LCCB has been asked to submit these accounts. Blesener stated that by asking LCCB to submit bank accounts, all the charities are being asked. Page -24-
