Sunk water park. And Sunset Island pays for the Pesaro flop, the court agrees with the Municipality

The resolution

Now Sunset will not only have to pay the fees never paid but also the legal costs estimated at 12,531.43 euros. The case concerns the early termination of the five-year operation of the water park. The total fee would have been 105 thousand euros, to be paid to Pesaro Parcheggi via Sunset. The manager was responsible for acquiring all the authorizations, taking out insurance, contractual and management costs and utilities. Pesaro Parcheggi, for its part, had purchased the equipment and had also taken care of the assembly costs, to be recovered through the concession fee. But with the early closure, payments stopped. The Municipality responded that it had issued a first payment reminder on 23 December 2019 and a subsequent payment request on 2 December 2021. Therefore, a procedure for the compulsory recovery of the sums was initiated through an executive assessment notice for failure to pay the fees due. But the company had opposed this request by appealing to court. The inflatables were inaugurated on 1 July 2018 in the body of water in Viale Trieste in front of Villa Marina, also confirmed for the following summer, then interrupted three years before the final management period.

The beginning

It all started with a deserted tender with a three-year management proposal. Subsequently, a local consortium that had gathered in RTI Sunset srl had proposed, through private negotiation, a longer management period, spread over five years. Total fee of 105 thousand euros, to be paid by 30 September of each year, to Pesaro Parcheggi, starting from 2019, with the first year (2018), however, without any payment. The assignment included the floating park, measuring 25 by 25 metres, positioned in the waters in front of Villa Marina, with related services on land (bathrooms, showers, changing rooms, lockers). And the bar-restaurant of 42 square meters, and 57 square meters of pergola with relative beach concession for a total of 394 square meters. At the end of 2021, a decision was published regarding the commitment in the budget of 32 thousand and 116 euros in favor of Pesaro Parcheggi, corresponding to the third onerous tranche, out of four (the first was without costs), of the five-year fee relating to the management of Sunset Island. He determined that the council had then asked to revoke. Hence the enforcement procedure by the Municipality to recover from Sunset srl (which then objected) the money never paid to Pesaro Parcheggi.
