APPROVAL OF CLAIMS (CONT.) <br /> 1 <br /> Upon a motion Mr. Downes, seconded by Ms. Schey and unanimously carried, the Commission <br /> I approved the Claims submitted October 16, 2014. <br /> 4. COMMUNICATIONS <br /> There were no Communications. <br /> I <br /> l 5. OLD BUSINESS <br /> There was no Old Business. <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS <br /> A. Receipt of Bids <br /> (1) Receipt of Bids for Lot 1 Ardmore Trail Minor Subdivision <br /> There were no bids received for Lot 1 Ardmore Trail Minor Subdivision. Unity Gardens <br /> submitted a letter expressing its interest in the property, though it could not meet the <br /> offering price. Mr. Relos noted that following a 30-day waiting period, proposals for this <br /> fi <br /> property that do not conform to the bid specifications may be considered and negotiated. <br /> (2) Receipt of Bids for Blackthorn Golf Course <br /> 3 <br /> Mr. Relos noted that two bids were received. The first was a bid from The Acquisition <br />) Group LLC, South Bend, Indiana, offering the minimum offering price of$1,655,000. The <br /> second was from Bartell & Company Auctioneers, Middlebury, Indiana, for an offering <br /> price to be determined. <br /> Ms. Greene noted that the bid from Bartell & Company is non-responsive. It appears to be <br /> a proposal to conduct an auction as opposed to a proposal to purchase the property. She <br /> suggested referring both proposals to staff for review and report at a later date. <br /> Ms. Schey asked who the principals of The Acquisition Group LLC are. Mr. Relos looked <br /> through the documentation and did not see a list of the principals. Ms. Greene explained <br /> that staff will do its due diligence, researching the bidder and its principals prior to <br /> reporting back to the Commission. <br /> I <br /> ii Ms. Schey asked staff to provide the names of the principals to Commissioners. Mr. Relos <br /> responded that he would. <br /> 9 <br /> Mr. Zeeb noted that DCI also received a bid later than the 9:00a.m., October 16 deadline. <br /> Ms. Greene noted that under state law when the Commission posts a time certain by which <br /> 1 a bid must be received, that time closes the window for anyone to submit anything after <br /> 3 <br />
