ReplyOoooops!!!.
Think about this business like and unemotional.The City has underfunded Police and Fire Pensions......the City has in excess of $20mm debt n this property, without title, of which the former City mgr, when asked, "how will we repay this debt" volunteered, we will pay back the loan when we get the money..(what leadership).....we are above 6 mills in Ad. Vol. taxing with a max. level of 10 mills available to the council....and now we are looking at another several million in "Damages" if the Vlass boys pull out. What are we going to do with the porperty is f we get it back!!!! Does anybody REALLY believe this buch of stumble bums council can get the property developed and our debt covered without a huge taxpayer involvement....TT is between a rock and a hard spot and our leadership is not equiped to handle the problems...If all of the big shots that have slammed the way Vlass has handled this project want to stand up and put their money up as the alternative to Vlass GREAT!! But if not they need to back down and let the Vlass group move forward before our City goes BROKE!!!!

sorry pal...how can Vlass walk if he has sold a portion of his interest to another entity????the City is not responsible to buy that interest back.
as to value, the new leases brought on board, in the south area have increased that parcel value subs..
parcel'
perhaps you should reread the Affronti letter… "Here is what is at stake: If we do not move forward, we will, according to the MDA, be required to pay Vlass LLC the amount of money they have invested in the property thus far. This amount will probably be in the millions based upon what has been done".
this is stated as a statement of fact not a implied threat of action. A statement of fact which should only have been made by a agent of Vlass. In truth, we will not be required to do anything unless Vlass decides to vacate his agreement and at this time that is strictly speculation. Hence my conclusion!!! -

ReplyPeople,
Its implausible that Vlass would allow someone, such as Affronti, to speak for him to suggest that if our council doesn't follow the Vlass script that Vlass will vacate his interests, walk away, lock stock and barrel, from his involvement in his project. It is important to remember that the other component of this MDA may be flourishing and most certainly will provide a lot of value to our City if we do buy it back. If in fact Vlass walks, and walks from this south parcel development, is that what we are buying back? And can he really walk if he has sold a part interest in this south parcel which I understand he has…..Perhaps we actually have Vlass over the barrel!
Its important you contact elected councilmembers with questions, ask them for real answers such as; How much must the City pay Vlass for his termination of this deal? Just as important, what is the value of these assets if we take over!
Certainly Council have the dollar figures available to base an important decision like this on. Let taxpayers see those figures, if not shame on you Councilmembers. Its hard to believe your elected representatives don’t want to have real numbers & good information before any "Termination" vote is taken. If termination is really what Affronti is stating, in his clarification letter, but have Council and City manager considered these points or other business details necessary for the decisions.

ReplyI continue to wonder why people think that establishing a source to repay, or fund, programs, or "Giveaways" such as this, is not important. Why is the taxpayer the last thought in peoples minds!!!!

Why not put the "House" on the east side of the pond, on the seventh hole of the TT Golf course. Centrally located and will not bother any residences. Plus...there are a kazillion bugs there.
The main focus in determining where to locate this "House" shold focus on what the "House" impact will be on the residents in close proximity to it. We all are aware of the benifits Bats have on the pest control, all these other reasoning are just nonsense. Before anyone gives a opinion they should self reflect on how much they would enjoy having the "House" placed in close proximity to their front door.
