Summary

Council convened as the Andover Land Bank, appointed the city clerk as nonvoting secretary-treasurer, waived bond requirement and set an Aug. 26 public hearing for the land bank budget.

After a recess on July 8 the council convened as the Andover Land Bank for its first formal meeting. The land bank was created by ordinance No. 1967 on June 24, 2025, and published June 28, 2025, with the board of trustees consisting of city council members.

The trustees approved the mayor's appointment of the city clerk (Dana Engstrom, referenced in the motion) as the nonvoting secretary-treasurer and voted to waive the bond requirement for that position. The land bank trustees also set a public hearing for the land bank's annual budget on Aug. 26, 2025, at 7 p.m. at City Hall. Trustees noted for the record that because this was the first meeting there were no minutes to approve.

The land bank business concluded and the body adjourned and reconvened as the city council. Several motions were recorded as carrying 6-0 (trustees counted the mayor as voting in that body).
