Business
The committee will meet to review proposed leasing terms for the Bike Kitchen,
as described in Order 185-24.
Councillor McDonald stated for the record that Councillor Winslow recused himself from
the discussion of the Bike Kitchen at 6:18 PM. Councillor Winslow has recused himself
from this conversation at 6:18 PM. Alicia McNeil, City Solicitor said she has provided the
temporary license agreement that the Bike Kitchen has with Hoff's. Her idea is to adopt
primarily what they have and add a few new items. The first question is in terms of the
terms. Currently their license agreement is yearly and she asked the committee how
many years they would like the agreement to be. The committee decided on a three year
term with a two year option. The next item is to find out who the primary person is and the
actual business address for Bike to the Sea. Councillor McDonald spoke to Bike to the
Sea yesterday and he said Jonah Chiarenza is the Executive Director. Alicia will reach
out for the address. The next item is Page 2 #2 regarding planting or demolition of plants
and trees, install garden beds etc. She is not certain if that is already there or there is
any issue with that. Councillor McDonald suggest informing the occupants to not be able
to put anything permanent on the property and to defer to the jurisdiction of theTree
Warden with any landscaping changes. Councillor McDonald also asked Alicia if she
could clarify that the DPW also needs to confirm any additional utility access or change.
He feels he would like to include a city staff person as the connection not the Public
Property Committee. Alicia addresses #4 and explains she is trying to work with Bike to
the Sea's Attorney because there is an easement which Hoff's opens. She is trying to
get clear title. Alicia said everything else is staying the same. There is an
indemnification clause in the lease that the City is not involved in any loss on the
