Mayor Canton called the meeting to order and explained the
purpose of the meeting was to assign the Council's Interest
in the Shores Theater lease to S.T.A.R.T..
Mr. Loffredo asked Ms. Pat Dahne of S.T.A.R.T. to explain
what the situation was.
Ms. Dahne explained the new group that would control the
theater would be called Shores Performing Arts Theater Inc.
(SPAT). She went on to say that she could not disclose the
terms of the financial agreement until the agreement was
signed.
Mr. Loffredo asked Ms. Dahne what she wanted the Council to
do. Mayor Canton stated that what they want Is for the
Council to write a letter stating that the Village doesn't
want to purchase the theater and that they are giving their
lease option to SPAT.
Dr. Butler asked Ms. Dahne If the Intent was to reimburse the
Council for their financial Interests In the theater. Ms.
Dahne replied that it was still the Intent.
Mr. Loffredo stated that he feels $5,000 was not to be repaid
and $10,000 was to be repaid in a year or two.
Mayor Canton stated that the council was looking at two
seperate Issues. The first that the Village Manager draft a
letter to relinquish any claim to the theater and second, the
repayment of the $10,000.
Dr. Butler stated that he was concerned about what would
happen If the Council releases their rights to the lease
option and SPAT didn't get the lease.
Mr. Loffredo made a motion that the Council direct Miami
Shores Main Street to assign their rights under the option to
the Shores Performing Arts Theater Inc. and that upon their
being shown that assignment to the Village Manager that he be
authorized to write a letter to whom it may concern and to
all parties Involved waiving any further rights the Village
may have under the lease option.
