19. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
19.A. Project Updates Report
City Manager Myers administratively approved some changes for some previously approved items to
extend time for outdoor loudspeaker requests and fireworks requests.
City Manager Myers noted for the record that City Hall opened officially for in person business today,
May 26, 2020. He explained that the City Clerk, Assistant Assessor, and an employee from
Planning took the lead and acted as a "greeter" in the lobby to direct the residents once they
entered the builing and ensured everyone remained socially distant. City Manager Myers still would
like to remind the public that we are requesting any transactions that can be done online to do so.
He also thanked the Parks and Rec Department for getting City Hall ready in order to be able to
open up to the public in a safe manner.
City Manager Myers also noted that the Weirs Bridge was open for traffic earlier than expected as it
opened Friday, May 23, 2020.
City Manager Myers reviewed the report.
Councilor Hamel reqeusted a document explaining how emergency services will access the other
side of Durkee Bridge once that bridge shuts down in September.
City Manager Myers explained it has been discussed whether that project will be taking place this
fall or put it off till next Spring due to the ecomony slowly opening back up.
Councilor Hamel also suggested that maybe with Durkee Bridge, one side could be done at a time
rather than shutting the entire bridge down all at once.
Councilor Hamel also mentioned the park at Busy Corner and the condition that it is in.
Councilor Cheney mentioned a letter that was recieved from a constituent in regards to trash pick up
in the Weirs area.
City Manager Myers stated the particular property in question has been on the City's radar for a few
years and this is being addressed with the proper departments.
Councilor Cheney would like a report back on the status of this property.
19.B. Monthly Economic Development Report
City Manager Myers reviewed the report.

20.B. First reading of Ordinance 2020-229, to amend Chapter 229, Wharves, and to
request a second reading and Public Hearing on June 8, 2020 during the regular
City Council meeting
Mayor Hosmer read the background to this Item.
City Manager Myers explained the reasonings for this request to amend Chapter 229, Wharves. If
this were to pass, the Dive Lease would need to go to a public hearing.
Councilor Haynes moved to waive a reading of this Ordinance in its entirety and to read by title only,
seconded by Councilor Felch;

Councilor Cheney: NO
Councilor Bownes: YES
Councilor Lipman: YES

Councilor Felch moved a first reading of Ordinance 2020-229, to amend Chapter 229, Wharves,
seconded by Councilor Haynes;
Councilor Bownes thinks this is premature at this time.
Councilor Lipman would like to see the Lease discussed before this amendment.
City Manager Myers explained that the Lease can't be signed without the changes to this Chapter
being done first.
Councilor Lipman stated that there would be no reason to amend Chapter 229 if the lease isn't
approved.
Councilor Hamel still has concerns with the lease. Mayor Hosmer stated that is the next item to be
discussed. Councilor Hamel explained he is not ready to go to public hearing on this item without
addressing some of the unknowns in regards to the lease.
Councilor Felch thinks the amendment to Chapter 229 can be done without even approving the
Lease.
Mayor Hosmer called the question:
City Clerk Hebert took a roll call vote;
Councilor Cheney: NO
Councilor Bownes: NO
Councilor Lipman: NO
Councilor Cheney: NO
Councilor Bownes: NO
Councilor Lipman: NO
Councilor Haynes: NO
Councilor Hamel: NO
Councilor Felch: YES
the motion failed with one (1) in favor and five (5) opposed.
Councilor Lipman thinks the reason this failed is because of the order in which this was presented.
City Manager Myers explained that if it is the wish of one of the five (5) Councilors that voted in
opposition of this item would like to revisit this motion after the discussion of the next item, The Dive,
LLC lease, they could do so as it has already been advertised.
20.C. Request to refer review of the proposed lease with The Dive, LLC to a public
hearing on June 8, 2020 during the regular City Council meeting
City Manager Myers reviewed the changes that were implemented at the request of the Council from
the last Council meeting. At the last meeting the vote was to pass the proposed lease with the
changes implemented by a (4) four to (2) vote. The changes are as follows:
Page 1 of 10 - the last two sentences were added: Attached hereto, incorporated here and made a
part hereof is an estimate of cost for the construction and renovation of the new finger dock. The Dive
shall post a construction bond in the full amount of the estimated construction cost.
Page 5 of 10 - The original line regarding "shall make all deliveries" was taken out and it now reads:
d. Deliveries to the The Dive shall be scheduled for weekdays or weekends before 10:30 am.
Page 5 of 10 - under f. The Dive will comply with the Laconia Noise Ordinance at all times. No live
music will be allowed at The Dive and amplified music shall be limited to ambient levels that support
reasonable conversation levels.
Page 8 of 10 - under Subletting & Assignment - the word approximately was changed to
substantially.
Page 9 of 10 - housekeeping changes to the numbering was done. Number 2 was added reading
"The Dive shall be solely responsible for the maintenance of the utilities installed at the Dock
Expansion. The Dive shall reimburse the city for all costs of repairs to the Dock Expansion within the
first three years of this Lease Agreement.
Councilor Hamel questioned number 3 on page 2 in regards to the timeframe of the construction.
Councilor Hamel is concerned with the last line which reads "There shall be no limit to the amount of
extensions agreed to."
City Manager Myers explained that some items are out of anyone's controls such as Wetland
permits, so we thought it was best to not include specific timeframes but it does state reasonable
extensions.
Councilor Hamel is also concerned with number 1 on page 3 in regards to ADA compliance.
City Manager Myers explained that if The Dive is not in compliance with all State and Federal
guidelines, then there wouldn't be approval through the City for an occupancy permit. All local, State,
and Federal laws will be enforced.
Councilor Felch stated that the compliance is with the dock that they are building.
City Manager Myers explained that if The Dive is not in compliance with all State and Federal
guidelines, then there wouldn't be approval through the City for an occupancy permit. All local, State,
and Federal laws will be enforced.
Councilor Felch stated that the compliance is with the dock that they are building.
City Manager Myers explained compliance also has to be with any temporary dock that they are
using while building their dock as well.
Councilor Cheney referenced page 2, item 3 regarding the 60 days. Councilor Cheney doesn't like
that there are no consequences listed if this timeframe is not met. Councilor Cheney would also like
it stated somewhere that the vessel is also ADA compliant, not just the dock. Councilor Cheney also
referenced a letter that the Council received from the Mount Washington stating that the leesee's
customers will not be able to use the ramp for access of The Dive. Councilor Cheney would like that
explained before he casts his vote. Councilor Cheney also spoke about page 6, item 3, Certificate of
Insurance. He thinks the City should be totally indemnified. On page 8, item 1, Councilor Cheney
would like the line that reads: "The Dive may assign this lease to another legal entity made up of the
same or substantially the samemembers as The Dive, with the prior written approval of the City,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld." explained in more detail. At the top of page 9
there needs to be more to define what access The Dive could possibly get if the Mount Washington
refuses use of the ramp. The Dive will need to install a ramp for ADA access.
City Manager Myers stated in regards to the liability and indemnification, that wording came directly
from the City's insurance carrier. In respect to the other concerns, this lease was tentatively
approved at the last Council meeting pending the changes that the Council had previously requested.
If it weren't for Chapter 229 requiring a public hearing this lease would already be approved. The
concerns being expressed tonight may need a significant re-write rather than just wordsmithing.
Councilor Cheney stated part of the problem is that new concerns keep coming up and he wouldn't
want to rush into something that still needs tweaking.
Attorney Woodbury addressed the Councilor's concerns. In regards to the timeframe of construction,
it is the priority to get this project done as soon as possible but some delays may be out of The
Dive's control. If the timeframe of the completion is in The Dive's control, then language could be
added to address that. With respect to ADA compliance, the vessel is in full compliance with ADA
regulations and as far as any other ADA compliance regulations those will all be addressed and in
compliance. Attorney Woodbury stated as far as the ramp is concerned, he has reached out to Mr.
Morace today to open up the line of communication to be able to arrive on an agreement. Attorney
Woodbury also said proper insurance would be secured to make sure everyone is covered. As far as
Councilor Cheney's concern with indemnity, The Dive is willing to add the necessary language. In
regards to the subletting concern, as long as the lease is in full compliance, it is the hopes that
there wouldn't be any concerns.
Councilor Hamel would like to see some sort of documentation from the Flagship stating The Dive
can use the ramp for access to their venue.
Attorney Woodbury stated that in the two years that The Dive has been in business, there has only
been one request for an individual to have access to The Dive and there are other accommadations
that can be made. The Dive has a smaller boat that is used, if need be, in order to pick up an
individual at another more accommadating location to bring them to The Dive.
Councilor Hamel understands what Attorney Woodbury is saying but other restaurants must be ADA
compliant whether they use it or not.
Councilor Lipman is wondering if a semi-colon is added between the two sentences on page 6 item
1a if that would satisfy Councilor Hamel's concerns.
Councilor Lipman also stated that the City could ask Primex to reassess the insurance details to
include higher limits.
Councilor Bownes understands that some Councilors still have concerns with the language in the
lease. Councilor Bownes still thinks this is premature.
Mayor Hosmer asked for clarification as to whether the items that the Council requested at the last
Councilor Lipman also stated that the City could ask Primex to reassess the insurance details to
include higher limits.
Councilor Bownes understands that some Councilors still have concerns with the language in the
lease. Councilor Bownes still thinks this is premature.
Mayor Hosmer asked for clarification as to whether the items that the Council requested at the last
meeting have been resolved and now there are additional issues being looked at that were not raised
two weeks ago? It seems this item is not moving forward and nullifying the four to two in favor vote
two weeks ago.
City Manager Myers stated in regards to the language in Chapter 229, which prohibits the City to
leasing the public docks to a commercial user, is why this item was brought forward for an
amendment. Having this amendment always requires a public hearing if the City were to enter into a
lease agreement. Therefore, this will delay the process even more if the changes in Chapter 229 are
approved.
Mayor Hosmer is also concerned with balancing the equities. The value to the City is present, but
the opportunity of entering into a lease with The Dive and the City benefitting from a brand new dock
may expire if this is delayed too long.
Councilor Lipman thinks that the issues that were raised are solvable and would like to get every one
on board to be in agreement.
Mayor Hosmer had a conversation with Mr. Morace today to address his concerns. Mr. Morace is
looking out for his own business and does not want to incur any added liability but is also willing to
open up communications with The Dive to discuss deliveries and ramp use.
City Manager Myers stated there are two options, either table this tonight and bring a new document
back on June 8th and then a possible public hearing on June 22, or continue this evening to
schedule a public hearing for June 8th and a second reading and then at that time small
amendments could be offered up that are not substantive changes.
Council is in consensus to move forward with option two that the City Manager just presented.
Councilor Bownes doesn't understand why this needs to be decided on tonight but he does support a
lease agreement with The Dive.
Councilor Hamel still is troubled by the ADA accessiblility and doesn't want that to come back on
the City.
Councilor Felch stated tonight's vote isn't voting to approve the lease it would be just to move it
forward.
Councilor Lipman agrees with Councilor Felch.
Mayor Hosmer would like to see this move forward with the understanding it will continue to be
worked on in regards to the issues that were raised tonight by Councilor Hamel and Councilor
Cheney.
Councilor Lipman would like to see a business friendly fashion that this can progress.
Councilor Haynes would like to move forward to a public hearing.
Councilor Bownes can support to move this to a public hearing.
