Middletown Board of Estimate approves sale of 1.9-foot city strip to New New Beginnings Church
Summary
The Middletown Board of Estimate authorized sale of a roughly 1.9-foot strip of city land adjacent to a municipal lot to New New Beginnings Church for $1 and authorized the mayor to sign transfer documents; the measure passed unanimously.
The Middletown Board of Estimate voted to sell a roughly 1.9-foot strip of city-owned land next to the municipal parking lot at 11 Mulberry Street to New New Beginnings Church for $1 and authorized the mayor to sign the transfer documents.
The measure passed after a motion by the presiding official and a second from Mister Massey. The board recorded aye votes with no opposition on the motion. The presiding official explained that the church’s recently installed stairway or ramp extended about 1.9 feet onto city property, and the sale would resolve the encroachment: "This is a, approximately a 1.9 feet strip owned by the city adjacent to the municipal lot that when they install their stairway or their, ramp, they inadvertently went a foot and point 1.9 feet too far," the presiding official said.
Board members did not raise additional conditions in recorded discussion. The resolution authorizes the mayor to sign the agreement and any related documentation necessary to complete the transfer. No written appraisal value beyond the $1 sale price was discussed in the meeting record.
The action was taken as part of routine municipal property business on the agenda; the minutes were not approved at the start of the session. No public comment on the sale was recorded in the transcript.
