Attorney says Best Western terminated DSS contract and guests relocated
Summary
At the July 6 Flower Hill Board of Trustees meeting, an attorney for the Best Western reported the hotel terminated its contract with the Department of Social Services and DSS moved its guests; the board accepted the update and closed the matter.
The Flower Hill Board of Trustees heard an update about the Best Western Hotel at 1053 Northern Boulevard during its July 6 meeting. "My name is Keith Corso, attorney for West Western Flowerhill," said Keith Corso, who told the board that "the Best Western had terminated its contract with the Department of Social Services, and the Department of Social Services has relocated all, guests of the hotel to other locations."
Why it matters: the board had asked at a prior meeting for assurance that guests placed under a DSS contract were no longer staying at the property. Corso told the board the hotel ended the arrangement within a week of the prior meeting and DSS completed relocations.
Board reaction and outcome: Chair moved to close the matter after the attorneys update; the board approved the motion by voice vote. Chair later thanked Corso, saying he "did a great job with communicating the whole time."
What the record shows: the owner, identified in the agenda as "Mr. Gandhi," could not attend and sent Attorney Corso to speak for the property. Corsos statement that the contract termination and guest relocations occurred is the record the board accepted; no further enforcement action or follow-up assignment was recorded in the public portion of the meeting.
Next steps: the board treated the matter as closed for now; no additional hearings or votes on the hotel were scheduled during the public meeting.
