Mounds View City Council October 27, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 19 <br />• 1 Council Member Gunn asked where the liquor license came from. <br />2 <br />3 Mr. Bradley indicated that they were told to use Roberts. <br />4 <br />5 Mr. Bradley indicated that there was an event that the Mermaid and Donatellis could not help <br />6 with so the manager asked that Roberts assist with that event and that was December 31, 1999. <br />7 <br />8 Council Member Stigney indicated the earlier proposed settlement was for less and he would <br />9 suggest going with that one rather than this one. <br />to <br />11 Council Member Marty indicated the previous settlement was also to take place starting in 2004 <br />12 and this settlement takes into account that there is business that was booked by Elegant Thymes. <br />13 <br />14 Council Member Stigney indicated that at the last meeting Mr. Bradley had agreed to the $10,000 <br />15 but now has retracted from that. <br />16 <br />17 Mr. Bradley explained that he has catering jobs that are for November/December/ January and <br />18 February and the new settlement amount takes that into consideration. <br />19 <br />20 Council Member Stigney proposed terminating at the first of the year and going back to the <br />,~21 $10,000 settlement. <br />2 <br />23 Scott Waste addressed Council and said that he does not think it is fair that the City pushes <br />24 Elegant Thymes out and gives the business to the Mermaid without going out for bids or giving <br />25 other vendors the opportunity to serve as an interim manager. <br />26 <br />27 Mayor Linke indicated that the City will put out bids for beginning 2005. <br />28 <br />29 Mr. Waste indicated that the next four months are the bread and butter of the catering business <br />3o and he thinks the City should go out for bids right away. He then asked whether anyone is <br />31 guaranteeing the estimates of $60,000 to $70,000. <br />32 <br />33 Mayor Linke indicated the figures are based upon 20 days of rental per month and the City feels <br />34 that is doable. <br />35 <br />36 Mr. Waste asked why he or other vendors was not allowed to make an offer to assist with the <br />37 payoff of this vendor to serve as the interim manager. <br />38 <br />39 Mayor Linke indicated that, if Council terminates the agreement with Elegant Thymes, the City <br />4o needs someone to step in immediately and serve as interim manager and the Mermaid can do <br />41 that. <br />42 <br />~3 Mr. Waste asked why he, as a competitor, is not being given a chance to submit an offer to do the <br />4 work. He then asked when the RFP will be sent out. <br />45 <br />
