The Yacht Club property lease agreement renewal passed unanimously. Kay Janky moved to approve the three year lease with a first renewal for an additional three years and for the board to authorize the district manager to sign the lease. Boyce Williams second the motion and the vote carried unanimously. Marina Lease Contract Attorney Tom Morris was not present at the meeting but he sent an opinion that the SID has the ability to extend the lease. The district staff recommended a renewal lease extension on the lease contract. Chairman Ken Mills and Vice Chairman Bruce Larsen had requested that the attorney be present at this meeting. Procedures are the concern over this contract not the current operators of the marina. Mills said that defining "intent" calls for open and fair competition. Larsen said, this is like a "bad dream. You think it is settled, then it comes back and this has gone from a RFP and then comes back as a RFQ and then back to wave competitive bidding." The unsettling questions to be answered are the definition of the term "professional qualifications/ services" and whether the state's regulation applies to the SID? The contract between the Kriers and the SID for the marina operations was originally signed in March 2000 and extended in 2004 for an additional five years. The existing contract does not expire until the end of January 2010. A proposal passed allowing the district manager to re-negotiate the contract with the Kriers for five years subject to the board's final approval. (nay: Mills, Larsen - aye: Janky, Dolce, Williams) Homeowner's Association Project Ken Brown was not present at the meeting to present information requested at the work session. It was also expressed by members of the board and the district manager that the ownership of the land parcel was not clear and might require a survey to determine the ownership. The board requested that the "district manager negotiate on his own." Ad Hoc Golf Commissioner Bruce Larson chairs a newly formed Ad Hoc committee consisting of Sue Dillard, Nick Roster, Patty Edwards, Dick Lytle, Gerald Garthe and Dick Woodmansee. The Ad Hoc will have recommendations for the board in time for the 2010 budget process. Their mission is to evaluate the financial structure concerning both golf courses, which includes all fees, rates and charges. Meetings are held weekly at the Clubhouse and open to the public. The next scheduled Ad Hoc meeting is scheduled for April 30, 2009 at 4 p.m. Announcements The next BOC work session is scheduled to be held at the District Office on May 18 at 9 a.m. Due to the holidays, the BOC set their regular meeting to be held on Friday, May 22 at 1 p.m.
