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
Comment
Bill Martony spoke regarding Lease Site 30W-33W, noting that he had met with the proposed
buyers and learned there may be a lot line adjustment that would affect the boat slip to the north.
He does not believe the buildings on the lease site are any issue and that the improvements and
lease lines should be left as is.
Cathy Novak, representing the Coakleys and new buyers, provided information on suggested
changes to the lease terms, including boundary line adjustments, language regarding the building
on Lot 20, Clean Marina program, fire sprinkler improvements, lease commencement date and
payment terms.
Sandy Bean, a real estate broker representing the Coakleys and the new buyers, stated that with
any transaction there are negotiable and non-negotiable items. This particular case involves a
financial condition that is non-negotiable. The loan that is in place is very temporary and requires
clear title. They must have a boundary line adjustment to gain clear title.
Bernadette Pekarek, spoke regarding Lease Site 30W-33W, stating that it would be confusing to
start pushing boundary lines out into the bay as it could affect all water leases. She asked if this
will affect the boat yard south of the boat launch and the rest of the Embarcadero.
The Public Comment period was closed.
