St George’s Mayor Kenneth Bascome will push for another meeting with developer Carl Bazarian on proposed plans for the former Club Med hotel site.This after calls by the Bermuda Environmental Sustainability Taskforce (BEST) for Government to terminate the contract to build a resort in St George’s.Four years after the old Club Med was imploded, Mr Bascome said perhaps it is time to consider new options.“We understand the economics but I can only go by what Carl Bazarian said to me. But I will attempt to speak with E Michael Jones to set up another meeting to sit down once again to have a discussion,” said Mr Bascome.The Mayor met with Mr Bazarian and Mr Jones in March to discuss recent developments and progress on the proposed plans.“He said he’s still committed to the project and we had further discussions on ways to get this project to advance.“A hotel resort at the east end has tremendous value for St George’s and I left that meeting believing that Mr Bazarian with his Park Hyatt partners would be taking this project forward,” said Mr Bascome.“At this stage I’m a little disappointed more so for the community of St George’s. After the hotel was imploded there was a new sense of enthusiasm within the community that we would finally have a ground breaking ceremony.“Four years later I can only say at this stage that the Government needs to put some pressure on Mr Bazarian to prove that he is committed to build or look to enter into a contract with other parties to get it built,” he added.“I’m not looking to make this into a political football because as the Mayor this is out of my hands. But I will say the agreement was a Government issued contract and it is up to them to determine the way forward.”Mr Bascome noted that a letter was sent out on September 14 calling on Government to clean up the St George’s golf course.“Since the Government was not in a position to put the golf course back in a playable condition, I figure the lease they could do is clean up the area,” he said.The letter was sent to the Premier, Paula Cox, Minister of Public Works, Michael Weeks, Tourism Minister Wayne Furbert and area MP and Education Minister Dame Jennifer Smith.Meanwhile, Charles Swan who was elected under the banner of the United Bermuda Party said: “Mr Bazarian’s history involving hotel developments in a number of parts of the world has been, let’s say spotty and I’m being kind here.“I’ve done a bit of research on developments in Venezuela and in the Caribbean and the similarities to Bermuda are striking when you look at there were public meetings and the like to ‘sell’ the project. I recall there being vociferous and public calls for the project to never start,” said Mr Swan.Mr Swan also noted that he was the Member of Parliament who tabled questions that “forced” the Government to produce the ground lease and table it in the House of Assembly.“The law to create the agreement was originally one that had to be passed by Bermuda’s House of Assembly, and this was hurriedly done at a special sitting during the summer recess of 2008.“While details of the ground lease have been made public, albeit as a result of a members diligence, details of the original master development agreement have never been made public, not even to the elected members and representatives of the people of Bermuda,” said Mr Swan.“While we appreciate that Mr Bazarian may still be committed to the project, after four years these words ring hollow,” he added.“We’ve held to our end of contractual agreements, Mr Bazarian has not, as construction was to have commenced by now. Our government, the Premier and at least four Government Ministers involved with this proposed development plan need to come to the wicket.“This lease agreement must be terminated, redone, and re- tendered. Putting all our eggs in one basket means when the basket drops, all the eggs break,” he said.
