Select Board extends closing date for Walker property purchase agreement; one member recuses
Summary
The board authorized an extension of the purchase and sale agreement for the Ellis Walker property (0 Bowman Street) to Aug. 28, 2025, and authorized the town manager to execute the amendment; the vote was recorded 3‑0 with one recusal.
Select Board members voted to extend the closing date for the purchase and sale agreement for the Ellis Walker property at 0 Bowman Street to August 28, 2025.
Staff reported the original closing date (June 2) had passed while due diligence continues with the property owners and requested authorization to memorialize an extension and allow the town manager to sign the amendment. One board member recused themself because of a family relationship to the Walker family; the board proceeded with the matter and approved the extension by hand vote (3 yes, 0 no, 1 abstain/recusal).
Town staff noted the town remains within the grant timeline for the associated grant used for the purchase and that staff will continue due diligence. The authorization allows the town manager to execute the extension once paperwork is complete.
