UNFINISHED BUSINESS 5.1 Discussion of Contract with Westwind Barn The City Manager referred to a letter from Westwind dated 2/17/94 which addressed the issue of the agreement between Westwind and the Town. In this letter the statement was made that the Special Advisory Position on the Westwind Board to be filled by a member of the Town's Pathways Recreation and Parks Committee would be a non-voting position. This issue needed clarification. In addition, the City Manager referred to conversations with the City Attorney concerning the term of the agreement. If the term were five years with another five years available if the dressage ring was completed, then there would be no opportunity to re -lease the property should the ring not be completed. The recommendation was that the term be four years and six months for completion of the dressage ring and that a renegotiation provision be included. Sharyn Brown, Westwind Barn, commented on the issue of a non-voting member from Pathways Recreation and Parks Committee on their Board. She raised the issue of liability as well as the inability of forcing someone from the Committee to be on their Board. What would happen if no one on the Committee was able to be on the Board? What would happen in that case to their Board? They agreed with a liaision between the Committee and their Board but the Boardmembers were elected. What would be the distinction between the elected members and the appointment from the Committee? Les Earnest, Chairman- Pathways Recreation and Parks Committee, noted that the committee had discussed this issue at their last meeting and voted that the member from their committee be a non-voting member. Dot Schreiner, 14301 Saddle Mountain Drive, asked what the responsibilities would be for the appointed member to the Westwind Board. She also concurred that the member be a non-voting one. Barrie Freeman, 26922 Dezahara Way, commented that he was a long time resident of the Town and a concerned user of Westwind Barn. He wanted to see the Town take a long term pro -active role in seeing that the Barn retained its charm and `. March 2, 1994 Regular City Council Meeting
