SPECIAL MEETING BOWLING ALLEY/ANYTIME FITNESS COMMISSIONERS
At 11:00 a.m. Chairman Osiadacz opened a Special Meeting to receive
an update from representatives of Anytime Fitness on a proposal to
lease the County owned building formerly known as the “Bowling
Alley”.
Denny and Jenny Kuenzli, representatives of Anytime Fitness provided
documents and reviewed information relating to an option of leasing
with improvements to the facility.
Neil Caulkins, Deputy Prosecutor indicated it could be possible for
a lease up to 35 years however; it would depend on a formula that
relates to what the value of improvements would be to the facility.
Commissioner Wright said at first glance he would like to look into
pursuing the project as they have a business plan in place, as well
as available resources. Chairman Osiadacz felt the proposal would
be good for the County and beneficial to the community. There was
discussion on the proposal of having the County be financially
responsible on the buildout including a vanilla shell and
reimbursement for full costs of flooring, interior paint, and
interior doors. Ms. Kuenzli noted how they would like to include an
assignment of lease within the agreement and Mr. Caulkins said that
could be possible to list in the document.
Commissioner Wright said he would follow up on the valuation portion
with a possibility of a 35 year lease, as well as their proposal of
funding to be paid by the County for the vanilla shell and other
costs outlined in their documents.
