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