Select Board authorizes town manager to sign P&S and approves $82,712 progress payment
Summary
After executive sessions, the board authorized the town manager to sign a purchase-and-sale agreement for a parcel, scheduled a special voter meeting and approved an $82,712 progress payment to M&H for the Acosta tow ramp project.
After two executive sessions, the Select Board returned to open session and recorded several formal actions. The board voted to authorize the town manager to sign a purchase-and-sale agreement on a parcel of property, schedule a special voter selectmen meeting with a public hearing, and approve a progress payment to contractor M&H for work on the Acosta tow ramp.
The board moved out of executive session at about 6:15 p.m. and the chair asked for a motion. A motion “for the town manager to sign a P and S on a certain parcel of property” was made by Jim and seconded by Sam; the motion passed. The board also scheduled a special voter selectmen meeting “on the 20 ninth at 5PM” with a public hearing to follow; that motion passed. Later, after a second executive session, the board approved a progress payment to M&H in the amount of $82,712 for the Acosta tow ramp; the motion to cut the check was made by Jim and seconded by Keith and passed.
The motions were made in open session following executive sessions conducted under MRSA Title 1, Chapter 13, Subchapter 1, Sections 4056(c) and 4056(f), which the board cited when moving into closed session for acquisition of real estate and discussion of confidential records. The meeting minutes record the motions and that each motion passed; no further details about the P&S parcel or contract paperwork were read into the public record at the meeting.
