Mounds View City Council October 8, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 17 <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Brown indicated that managing the banquet center would require more time spent on <br />marketing it to not only private wedding parties but to corporate clients as well. He then <br />indicated he has worked with the City to get accounting software installed and a reservation <br />system enhancing and improving what was over at the banquet center. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty indicated he had asked the question because Mr. Brown had indicated his <br />hourly rate was down to four dollars an hour. He then questioned whether Mr. Brown’s wife <br />would be helping him manage the banquet center. <br /> <br />Mr. Brown indicated that he has a business partner but she is not his wife. He then indicated that <br />he and his business partner would like to put together a whole management package but said he <br />has no direction to do so. <br /> <br />Council Member Quick reminded Council of the request to move things along. <br /> <br />Mr. Linke of 2319 Knoll Drive indicated he was the Vice President of Innovative Images and <br />commented he has an issue with indicating that Elegant Thymes has generated $20,000 in gross <br />revenues because Innovative Images had brought in the business. He then reminded Council that <br />the City has a legal and binding contract with Innovative Images and suggested talking to the <br />City’s attorney about having a second contract. <br /> <br />Assistant to the Administrator Reed indicated that the contract specifies that gross revenues are <br />realized when the event takes place not when it is booked. She then clarified that Mr. Brown is <br />not looking for a contract just a Resolution to outline what his duties would be. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas clarified that the Resolution would merely formalize the interim <br />agreement. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty commented that he does not feel the gross revenue issue has been <br />appropriately sorted out between Innovative Images and Elegant Thymes. <br /> <br /> Ayes - 4 Nays – 1(Marty) Motion carried. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Thomas/Stigney. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 5612, a <br />Resolution Naming Elegant Thymes Management Company as Interim Manager of the Mounds <br />View Banquet and Conference Center. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney clarified that this is filling an interim position and not establishing a <br />contract. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty indicated he feels the interim agreement is clearly spelled out and should <br />have been taken care of at an earlier date. <br /> <br />Mr. Brown indicated he did not want a contract just direction.
