Bill Summary Heather Reber, Council Auditor’s Office, explained the
amendment’s provision on the types of flags that can be flown atop the armory. The escape clause provision in the lease agreement was
discussed at length. The City would
have the option of terminating the lease if it provided a 90-day notice. Council Member Joost was concerned that the
lessee (Sons of the Confederate Veterans) could expend a considerable amount
of money on the restoration of the armory and stand
to lose its investment if the City is approached by a party interested in
purchasing the armory property.
Council Member Kimberly Daniels, the ordinance’s sponsor, suggested
that the ordinance be deferred to provide the Sons of Confederate Veterans to
consider the ramifications of the 90-day notice provision. Kevin Hart, representing the Sons of Confederate Veterans,
addressed the Committee and provided background information on his
organization’s interests and goals for the armory. He indicated that the Sons of Confederate
Veterans was the only organization that responded to and met the requirements
of the City’s RFP; he reviewed the work that the organization had undertaken to
repair and refurbish the armory. He reiterated that the American flag would
be the only flag that would be flying atop the building. Council Member Daniels vouched for the work that the Sons
of Confederate Veterans had done at the armory and in the community. She reiterated her request for a deferral
of the measure and the Chair accommodated that request by deferring action on
the ordinance. DEFER |
