Summary

After reporting a tentative agreement with Down to Earth to operate Forest Lake, staff asked and the commission authorized the city attorney and city manager to execute the final management agreement once wordsmithing is complete.

City staff told the commission they had reached a tentative agreement with Down to Earth to serve as interim operator for Forest Lake and asked the commission to let the item remain on the consent agenda while authorizing the city attorney and city manager to execute the agreement when it is finalized.

The staff report said the agreement was tentatively agreed but not yet signed and that a few wording changes remained. A staff representative asked the commission to allow the agreement to remain on consent and to change the staff recommendation to authorize execution by the city attorney and the city manager once the final document is ready.

Commissioner Ferschner moved the requested change and Commissioner Wilson seconded. The motion carried unanimously with Commissioner Oliver absent.

Ending: The authorization allows staff to finalize and sign the interim operator contract with Down to Earth once the document is completed; the contract itself was not read into the record and staff said the signed document would be executed under the authority granted by the commission.
