The city of North Battleford has reached a settlement agreement with Minisapoy Café over the business’s woes due to the building deficiencies at the Battlefords Co-op Aquatic Centre.
The settlement agreement compensates Minisapoy Café for revenue loss from those issues, which go back to 2013.
The Aquatic Centre has had some well-publicized problems with condensation and water leaking from the roof of the building. According to the settlement agreement, the building deficiencies had impacted the Minisapoy Café’s section of the building, which they had leased from the city.
The Aquatic Centre was shut down between Aug. 19 and Sept. 20, 2013 in order to address the issues.
Minisapoy Café, in turn, had ceased making rental payments as a result.
In the agreement the city has agreed to a settlement of $38,815, representing $35,815 by way of forgiveness of unpaid rental fees and $3,000 on execution of the agreement by the parties.
A motion to approve the settlement agreement passed at City Hall’s Executive Committee. On Monday night it went before council and was approved unanimously.
