Selectmen authorize town manager to draft purchase-and-sale agreement for town parcel

Following an executive session under statutory confidentiality provisions, the Rangeley Board of Selectmen authorized the town manager to negotiate and draft a purchase-and-sale agreement for a specific parcel of real property and to work with the town attorney to secure purchase rights. The motion authorizing the manager to proceed was moved by Keith and seconded by Sam; after returning from executive session the board voted in favor. The manager was directed to prepare documentation and to pursue negotiation steps consistent with attorney guidance. The board recorded the motion as approved; no additional details about the parcel's location, seller or purchase price were disclosed in open session. The board later entered a second executive session on confidential records and reconvened without further public action.
