    [00:00:31] Next is an amendment to the purchase and sale agreement for the Hacienda. [00:00:34] Ms. Manz? [00:00:35] Request specifically is to authorize the Executive Director to enter into an [00:00:42] amendment on the purchase and sale agreement and more specifically relating [00:00:48] to the mortgage payment schedule in relationship to the Hacienda Hotel. [00:00:54] Mr. Gunderson, as you know, is now planning to complete his work and open [00:01:00] the Hacienda Hotel in the second quarter of next year and that is a postponement [00:01:08] from his original plan, which was to open in the first quarter of 2021. [00:01:13] As a result of that, he has asked to delay his first annual payment, which is [00:01:20] currently scheduled for payment to the city on September 21st of 2021. [00:01:28] He has asked that the deferment be extended until December 31st of 2021. [00:01:35] That payment is the second payment that he will make to the city and this payment [00:01:41] is in the amount of $85,000. [00:01:45] And a copy of the proposed amendment is at your place this evening. [00:01:49] Thank you. [00:01:50] I'll open it up for public comment. [00:01:51] I'm seeing no one come forward, I'll bring it back to the board. [00:01:55] Move for approval. [00:01:56] Back. [00:01:57] Nothing, because, I mean, it's an extension of him trying to get the building done, I [00:02:02] have no problem with that. [00:02:03] Second. [00:02:04] Apparently I've said enough tonight, thank you. [00:02:08] Director Murphy? [00:02:09] No, I think you need to help out with this project. [00:02:12] It's a unique one and I've said it before, I think it's the, you know, kind of the focal [00:02:17] point of the city once it gets done, so looking forward to it. [00:02:20] Thank you. [00:02:21] Director Peters? [00:02:22] No objection. [00:02:23] I think the poor guy's been COVID-ed, along with everybody else, give him a few extra [00:02:30] months to get that first payment up after he actually gets the place open, just makes [00:02:35] sense. [00:02:36] There's no further discussion. [00:02:38] All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. [00:02:40] Aye. [00:02:41] Opposed? [00:02:42] Like sign. [00:02:43] Motion passes. [00:02:44] I would now entertain a motion to adjourn. [00:02:45] I just want to say one thing, I should have said during communication, I really like what [00:02:50] you did, Chief, it's telling us the future.
