He commented that some of these mistakes are <br />mistakes of the past administration. <br /> <br />5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />a) Information Pertaining to the Creative Kids Child Care Center. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre stated the City has a signed lease for the site for Creative Kids Child Care <br />Center dated September 1, 2001. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller interjected that Ms. Sonterre has not signed, though the document is <br />available for signing. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre explained the present tenant, Children’ s Home Society, is paying the lease <br />through August. Ms. Sonterre had hoped to open her child care center on August 1, which <br />wasn’t possible. September is the forecasted date. This date coincides well with school st arting. <br />However, Children’s Home Society has indicated to her that since they have paid for this <br />month’s lease, they have no intention to allow her in the facility to clean up and get ready for <br />opening, unless she pays an amount equal to their rate of the lease. Mayor Sonterre’ s suggestion <br />was to waive the daily equivalent of the lease for the last 14 days of the month. This would allow <br />Creative Kids Child Care Center to set up their business and open September 1. Mayor <br />Sonterre asked for Council input on the matter. <br /> <br />Council Member Quick asked if City Administrator Miller is aware of the situation. City <br />Administrator Miller stated she was. She explained that Ms. Sonterre did speak with her and <br />indicated that she needed access sooner into the building. City Administrator Miller advised Ms. <br />Sonterre to make arrangements with Children’s Home Society since they had paid through <br />August. <br /> <br />Council Member Quick questioned why the City Administrator wasn’t presenting this case. <br />Mayor Sonterre explained he w anted to be of assistance, and added that he directed Ms. <br />Sonterre to have her attorney speak with the City Attorney. <br /> <br />Council Member Quick stated he thought Ms. Sonterre should not be discussing the situation <br />with the Mayor. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Stigney.
