MANAGER COMMENTS Mr. Schofield explained that the offer presented to the Wanderers Club was not accepted and any counter offers below $1,000,000 would not be accepted. 6. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilman Coates said he understood that due to the vote for the Wanderers Club in order to bring the item back before Council, it would have to be by one of the councilmembers that voted against purchasing the property. Ms. Cohen explained that the item could be brought back by any of the councilmembers that voted in favor of purchasing the property but she did not recall what the vote was. Vice Mayor Greene said that the vote was 4-1 with a different amount for the offer and he made the initial offer in the amount of $850,000 but the motion failed for lack of a second. Councilman Coates asked about the vote for the $700,000 offer. Vice Mayor Greene said the $700,000 offer passed 4-1 but currently that offer was rejected. Ms. Cohen explained that there was not a counter offer and the item was currently dead but if any of the councilmembers would want to make the motion with an offer for $1,000,000 that would be within their right to do so. Councilman Coates recapped that Vice Mayor Greene made a motion for $850,000 which died and his understanding was that he would be the only councilmember that would be able to bring the item back to Council with an offer in the amount of $850,000. Vice Mayor Greene said that the message that was sent to Council was that the Wanderers Club was not interested in any offers that were less than $1,000,000. 7. ADJOURN Village of Wellington Page 6
