SUMMARY OF CLOSED SESSION ITEMS - The Mayor read a summary of Closed Session
items.
CLOSED SESSION PUBLIC COMMENTS - Mayor Irons opened the meeting for public
comments for items only on the agenda.
Ken MacMillan, owner of DiStasio’s Restaurant, introduced his wife Judy and son Mark who
also participate in the restaurant. He thanked Council for making special arrangements to hear
Item CS-1 as time is of the essence. He is attempting to purchase 781 Market Street, but has not
been able to close escrow because the City has a lien on the property, which puts them in first
position. His loan is a SBA loan and therefore, cannot be in a subordinate position. The original
escrow expired on Friday, but he was able to get a two week extension. He recommended that
the Council take one of two options: 1) eliminate the lien for the elevator by coming to a
separate agreement with City; or 2) agree to subordinate the City’s loan.
Seeing no further comment, the public comment period was closed.
The City Council moved to Closed Session and heard the following items:
