At the conclusion of the agenda the committee engaged in
considerable discussion with Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland about the
three pending bills (2012-730, 2013-118 and 2013-179) regarding potential
relocation of the Supervisor’s election operations center or the renewal of the
lease for the operations center at the Gateway Center. Jessica Deal stated that Mayor Brown favors
2013-118 which would renew the lease for the Gateway Center. Supervisor Holland said that he is interested
in getting the best deal for the taxpayers, but can’t know what that deal is until
actual proposed leases are received and can be compared. He said that a final decision on whether to
stay at Gateway or move to a new location needs to be made by July 2013, and
that relocation to a different facility would need to be completed by January
or February 2014 so that preparations can begin for the 2014 election cycle.
Council Member Crescimbeni stated that he is working with the Office of General
Counsel and the Real Estate Division on his proposal to renew the lease at
Gateway Center provided that needed improvements are made to the building. The committee discussed the proper role of
the City Council or individual council members negotiating potential leases in
place of the Real Estate Division or Mayor’s Office.
Council Member Crescimbeni and Supervisor Holland recounted
the history of the SOE’s location in Gateway Center. They also debated the Supervisor’s proper
role in negotiating or commenting on a proposed lease renewal with Terranova
Inc. for the current location. Mr.
Holland stated that he is ready and willing to move to or stay in any location
that is determined to be the best deal for the taxpayers. Council Member Yarborough stated that the
purpose of his and Mr. Schellenberg’ s bills was to
get all ideas and proposals on the table so the best option can be identified.
