Council approves $3 million warrant to close on 6.43-acre DPW garage site in Barre Town
Summary
The council approved acceptance of the warranty deed and authorized a warrant totaling $3,000,000 plus $10,000 in legal IOLTA funds to complete the city's purchase of 277 Morrison Road for a planned DPW garage site.
The Barre City Council voted May 20 to accept a warranty deed and authorize funds to close on the city’s purchase of a 6.43-acre parcel at 277 Morrison Road in Barre Town for the DPW garage project.
Council members moved and seconded a motion to approve a warrant authorizing $3,000,000 for the purchase, $10,000 to the city attorney’s IOLTA account for closing costs, to waive recording fees and to authorize the city manager to execute closing documents subject to final review by the city attorney. The motion passed by voice vote; council members also noted a recusal by one member earlier in the meeting related to this item.
City staff said the closing authority is subject to final attorney review and that the authorization will allow staff to complete the transaction and deliver clear title. The purchase is part of a larger plan to relocate and construct a new Department of Public Works garage and associated facilities.
