Commission approves consent items, reimburses capital expenses and moves into executive session on litigation and property matters

At its March 24 meeting, the Nantucket Land Bank Commission approved a set of consent items and took several formal votes, then moved into executive session to discuss litigation strategy and negotiations related to Land Bank real property.

Glenn Coleman presented a reimbursement item and the commission approved a motion to reimburse $58,883.10 for approved capital expenditures. He also asked for and received approval for recommendations from the Gulf Capital work group; commissioners complimented the group’s thrift and voted to accept its recommendations.

The commission also approved transfer business requiring signatures and granted a second extension to William Remains and Megan Lavoie for 28 Conners Honeysuckle; staff said the family expects to be finished by December. Commissioners reviewed and approved previous meeting minutes as amended.

Finally, Coleman moved the commission into executive session for several enumerated purposes: to approve executive session minutes, to discuss litigation strategy where open discussion could damage the Land Bank’s position, and to consider the purchase, exchange, lease or value of real property where open discussion could harm negotiation positions. The commission planned to adjourn after the executive session without reconvening in open session.

The votes on consent items and the motion to enter executive session were recorded as voice votes in favor; the transcript records unanimous support but does not list individual vote tallies.
