My guess is that's why Partners/MM came out with the Press Release. They 
immediately 
win public (not all) support, Fishman in back row.  They did alot with little. 

They buy cameras and system. Win for them. They support schools. They support 
downtown. Win. They finish Convention Hall - even the windows.  They open the 
WB. Win, 
They pave Kingsley. They work on the bulkhead. They make those empty Kusner 
lots look 
decent this year. Win. They look at saving Charms building. Unite all 
marketing efforts. 
Win, West side briefly mentioned. They'll have to suport that as well. Like I 
said - one big 
walk from the BW and cross the tracks. When questioned,m Hugh said MM did not 
pay 
Partners any $.  You an bet there is a payday. It will be a big one for both - 
and if all goes 
well, for ALL the residents. 

MM also mentions kiosks and  more. City has to remember who owns the BW. There 
has to 
be a fair tradeoff and a valid plan.

The payday might not be cash up - but a schedule for each phase of 
improvements. Pay if 
not delivered. The easiest way to create parking is to reopen the lot behind 
the Empress. In 
the prime, that lot was a cash cow.

MM is going to win public support - something partners didn't understand. It's 
in the open 
now. 

Did they take the supposed backroom dealings to the public?

I hope you aren't asking the Council to act impetuously.

We've seen grand plans before.

I go back to Dan Sciannemeo's first post about this as to making 
sure the plan is backed by money and deadlines.

Measure twice, cut once as the carpenters like to say.

So long as those two issues are in order (along with the strongest 
default provision known to lawyers), after that you get the hell out 
of AP/MM's way and let it roll.

I am not a lawyer so i don't know all the legal particulars
But they just raised 480 million 9 months ago
They also put up their own timelines.
These guys are not cupcakes, look at their other projects and look 
at the size of the organization 
I do agree that everything needs to be done properly and legally.

However, lets not do this approval on municipal time but lets do it 
on private enterprise time.

I agree and I'm on AP/MM's side.

However last time all I asked for at the start was M.D. Sass Group 
of Companies on the Redevelopers Agreement, and I didn't get it.

This time all I ask for is: 

1.  Proof of financing

2.  Deadlines

3.  A serious default clause


It will take one day of negotiation to get those things.

Then I say get the hell out of their way.  

Disband the TRC and all pretty committee aspects of the Planning 
Board.

 You always make good points - but this time, you have seen action. 
like it or not, control of 
 the boardwalk and land is control of one group with a big 
investment.  Granted until last year 
 all we saw were coors light banners. But I think we got rid of 
that mentality. 
 
 The downtown has come along way.  The west side has to see some 
action. Can MM spur 
 action in the rest of town - assist in schools and in safety.

Why would anyone hold it up? Why was this press release/conference
issued? Was the city notified/invited?

If all of the promises are delivered - great. Do they have strings
attached? Much goes on that many do not know. Don't be so quick to
blame the city for not being there or quick to assume that it will
stand in the way of those promises.

Stalking horses. Strawmen. Maybe the above is what MM will want you to
believe. 

There are no guarantees. There are no guarantees. There are no guarantees.
