LEGAL & LICENSING Alderman Beauvais, Chair
Moved by Smith, seconded by Elstner, to take from the
table the matter tabled on June 7, 1999, to amend an
existing parking lease agreement with 701 Lee LLC, to
provide 304 parking spaces for the 10-story office
building at 701 Lee Street . Motion declared carried.
Moved by Brookman, seconded by Sayad, to call for a five
(5) minute recess. Motion declared carried.
The Committee of the Whole recessed at 8:40 p.m.
The Committee of the Whole reconvened at 8:45 p.m.
Alderman Sayad questioned Mr. Ron Grais, the City's legal
counsel in this matter, about several aspects of the
proposed new lease, i.e. how may actual parking spaces
are there, the fee for each. Alderman Sayad stated that
he has a problem with this lease; considerable changes
were made; this is not a good deal for the City.
Mr. Grais stated that there are 304 parking spaces for
which the City receives $23; this will increase to $24
when the lease is approved and then to $25 in 2001.
Alderman Sayad stated that this is wrong, there will only
be a $2 increase; a good deal should be a good deal for
both parties; how can we give away 304 parking spaces for
only $25 maximum; we should go back to the owners of the
701 Lee Street building.
Alderman Brookman stated that no one was given
authorization to renegotiate this agreement; there were
many changes made to this agreement, i.e. snow removal,
security monitoring; Mr. Grais gave the City Council
misinformation; Mr. Grais gave the owners of the 701 Lee
Street building 47 years of free snow removal and said
there were no changes; Mr. Grais' analysis and base
assumptions were wrong.
Alderman Arredia stated that the City first signed this
agreement in 1975; we are now kind of locked into the:
number of parking spaces, length of lease time; easement
agreement; and parking space fee.

Alderman Smith asked Mr. Grais if, considering the
history of this parking lease agreement and what has been
said here tonight, the owners of the 701 Lee Street
building would change their minds. Mr. Grais said no.
Alderman Brookman stated that the City is not locked into
this lease; we have been lied to repeatedly about the new
lease; we should have gone out for new bids on this whole
development; she wants a dollar figure for everything the
City has given away; no one was ever given the authority
to renegotiate this lease agreement.
Alderman Sayad stated that this parking lease agreement
should be renegotiated.
Moved by Brookman, seconded by Sayad, to recommend to the
City Council that the City renegotiate the parking lease
agreement with the owners of the 701 Lee Street building,
with two (2) aldermen part of the process; and come back
to the Committee of the Whole with reports and direction.
Mr. Jim Brookman, 1847 Ash Street, addressed the
Committee of the Whole, questioning the status of the
snow plowing for the new parking garage; all terms of
this lease agreement do not have to change; most of the
things in this lease agreement have nothing to do with
moving from the flat lot to the parking garage.

Plaines Town Center, L.L.C., developer for the Library
