Upon request, Koch indicated the new lessees were currently owners of several
tobacco shops in the area (one currently situated on the Gusty Subdivision lot) and in
Wasilla. He added, in checking with administration, he learned it is not normally a
part of the process to learn to whom the leases are being assigned, but would if
directed to do so by council.
Michael Butler -- Indicated Sun Sims is his wife; they own several retail stores in
Kenai, Soldotna, Eagle River, and Wasilla; they currently own the Golden Eagle Smoke
Shop (on the Gusty property) and would like to transfer the lease to their name.
Council discussion followed and it was asked if past lease deficiencies related to rate
adjustments could be cured as a condition to bring the lease into compliance with
code requirements. Graves noted, it could be explored; it is an old lease with lease
language without an automatic renegotiation lease rate provision, which had been a
problem in years past; a temporary patch had been negotiated; the amendment would
indicate a use for the property; and, now would be a good time to bring a more
permanent resolution to the lease rate issue. Graves suggested the issue be
postponed in order to allow administration to discuss the matter more thoroughly with
the parties, do some research, etc.
Butler was asked if he had any objection to postponing the matter and he answered
no, but would like to have the assignment completed as soon as possible.
