Unicorp seeks to prevent Colony meeting
A Unicorp National Development subsidiary is asking a Sarasota judge to prevent the Colony Beach & Tennis Resort Association from holding meetings until there’s full resolution of all the bankruptcy and legal issues surrounding the shuttered resort.
Unicorp Colony Units LLC filed a motion for a temporary injunction in the 12th Judicial Circuit Court Monday, seeking to halt upcoming meetings.
At the association’s annual owners meeting scheduled for Dec. 15, a new board is scheduled to be elected for the first time in more than two years. Owners are also scheduled to hear development presentations from the MW Development Group/The Lutgert Cos. and Unicorp President Chuck Whittall.
Whittall said he intends to still make a presentation “and make a significant offer to the owners” at the meeting if a judge allows it to be held.
Firefighters receive lifesaving award
Longboat Key Fire Rescue Chief Paul Dezzi presented six firefighter/paramedics with a Phoenix Award Nov. 24.
The award recognizes public safety workers who revive a patient found without a pulse or respirations who is clinically dead before lifesaving measures are performed.
Deputy Chief Rocky Parker, Lt. Tim Haas and firefighter/paramedics Tom Batchelor, James Martin, Alan Jenkins and Brandon Desch defibrillated an unresponsive 75-year-old patient four times March 27, at Longboat Harbour.
Dezzi called the save “textbook perfect.”
The department also said farewell to firefighter/paramedic Frank Stoudt Nov. 24, who retired after a 36-year career in Sarasota and on Longboat Key. Stoudt was a town firefighter/paramedic since 2001.
