Consideration Of A Resolution Authorizing the Execution of an Amendment to Exclusive Listing Agreement with CBRE Inc. for the Sale of the Golf
President Weppler explained this resolution would approve a one-year extension to the exclusive listing agreement with CBRE Inc. to allow CBRE to list, market and assist in the negotiation of the sale of the Golf Learning Center (GLC) and the Family Entertainment Center (FEC). This agreement provides for a commission to be paid to CBRE at the time of sale in the amount of 4% of the sale price of the property if by direct sale (or 4.5% prior to June 28th to parties under negotiation). The commission is identified at 5% in the event that a cooperating broker is involved in the transaction.
Village staff interviewed a number of potential brokerage firms and determined that CBRE has extensive experience with the local retail, office and industrial markets, and therefore meets the qualifications necessary for the listing services. Staff supports approval of the proposed extension.
To approve the resolution, the concurrence of a majority of the corporate authorities is required. Therefore, four (4) positive votes are required for approval.
President Weppler asked that the amendment be extended for two weeks and the item be deferred.
Trustee Johnson moved to amend the agreement and defer, and Trustee Carey seconded. President Weppler asked for further Board or public comment and there was none. The motion carried on roll call vote as follows:
Ayes: Trustees Johnson, Justice, Adams, Garrity, and Carey
Nays: None
Absent: Trustee Moras
Resolution No. 18-R-35: A Resolution to Approve a Change Order to the Contract with Krueger Pyrotechnics for the July 4th Fireworks Display
President Weppler reported the Village of Libertyville currently has a contract with Krueger Pyrotechnics for the Libertyville July 4th Fireworks show, through July 4, 2019. The multi-year contract was approved on December 13, 2016 and includes an annual fireworks display in the amount of $15,000. The fireworks show has been $15,000 for approximately 10 years, and minor annual cost increases have been avoided by reducing shell counts.
In order to avoid decreasing the shell count, Krueger recently advised the Village that to have the same quality 25-minute show, which includes an opening barrage, uninterrupted show and finale, a $2,500 increase is necessary. The Village is proposing to increase the show cost from $15,000 to $17,500 as indicated in the change order. A $5,000 contingency has been added to expand the show in the event additional sponsorships are received.
The Parks and Recreation Committee discussed this at the February 6, 2018 meeting and recommended approval. President Weppler asked for questions and comments.
Trustee Johnson asked if the Mile of Cars group was still sponsoring the fireworks. Economic Coordinator Heather Rowe stated the group had generally agreed. Trustee Adams stated he would look into other sponsorship possibilities.
Trustee Johnson moved to approve the resolution approving a change to the contract with Kreuger Pyrotechnics for July 4th fireworks. Trustee Adams seconded. President Weppler asked for further Board or public comment and there was none. The motion carried on roll call vote as follows:
Ayes: Trustees Johnson, Justice, Adams, Garrity, and Carey
Nays: None
Absent: Trustee Moras
